Mission patch
Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-52) blasted off October 22, 1992. Its crew consisted of Commander James Wetherbee, Pilot Michael Baker, Charles Veach, William Shepherd, Tamara Jernigan and Steven MacLean (CSA).
The crew carried out experiments and projects that were joint ventures with the Canadian Space Agency, the European Space Agency, Italian Space Agency and France's Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales.
Also, some of Gene Roddenberry's ashes flew on this trip. Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, died the previous October.
Columbia returned to Earth November 1.
